I understand your concerns about medication safety, especially when taking multiple medications. Here's some general information about the medications you mentioned:
Fluanxol (Flupentixol): This is an antipsychotic medication often used for schizophrenia or other similar conditions. It can also be used in lower doses for depression.
Spenzo (Etizolam): This is a medication that is used for anxiety. It belongs to a class of drugs similar to benzodiazepines and has sedative and mu...more

I am not sure who got you hooked onto clonazepam, even though it reduces anxiety, it shouldn't be used on a longer run. On a longer run they will shrink your brain, resulting in early onset dementia, personality changes, memory changes, even withdrawal seizures. Kindly consult a psychiatrist, get your anxiety evaluated, and he will gradually wane you off it and give pills for primary anxiety like ssri, snri or tca for longer run. All the best.

Indiscriminate use of Rivotril against a doctors advice can disturb sleep architecture and cause dependence and withdrawal symptoms in the long run. If you are using Rivotril for sleep and not being able to sleep when you stop them, then you are already having dependence. Please get yourself evaluated and then resart treatment

Both rivotril and Trika belong to a group of drugs called Benzo diazepine, why do you want to change over, what is the condition for which you are taking this. Was it prescribed by a doctor or is it self medication, please remember self medication will be counter productive. Plaese consult a psychiatrist an ddiscuss your problem.

Dear Yasha,
Both clonazepam and etizolam are NOT medicines for OCD. They belong to benzodiazepine group of anxiolytics. You don't gain weight by these medicines, if you maintain the usual diet and exercise schedule.

No sir, it is not at all adviseable to try this medication nor to self-medicate/regulate without doctor's approval. If you are so keen on coming off of this medication and want to improve your health, I suggest that you go for counseling in tandem with he medicines. If you combined counseling with the medication you can expect the best outcomes for your anxiety disorder. However, you must be episode-free for at least three years before the doctor will decide on weaning you off of the medication ...more
